The symlinks have been introduced as python25 switched from a "normal"
build to the framework to ease the transition. It is just not possible
to change this now without causing major problems for all users. It
would require everyone to uninstall all dependents of python25, upgrade
and then reinstall.

The workaround is to move the files in a post-destroot phase to the
right location in ${prefix}/lib/python2.5.
